It’s been a disappointing season for Brice Hall and injuries look like they’ll affect him as he finishes his third year in the NFL.
Did not practice Wednesday or Thursday due to a knee injury. He was questionable last week but finished the game against the Seattle Seahawks and ran for 60 yards on 12 carries.
Interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich said Hall will be listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against the Miami Dolphins.
Cornerback Sauce Gardner’s play is also questionable. But if Hall and others are sitting against the Dolphins, it’s not a subtle tank plan, according to Ulbricht.
“We would never, regardless of the circumstances or the record, we would never put a guy at risk who wasn’t capable of going out there and playing. I don’t know if that has anything to do with the record. Or it shouldn’t, at least in my opinion,” Ulbricht said.
Will be ‘good’ for the Bengals vs. CD Lamb
The Dallas Cowboys meet the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday night and quarterback Cooper Rush is expected to be one of his main weapons available.
Wide receiver CeeDee Lamb has been dealing with an AC sprain in his shoulder for the past month but is not expected to sit out. Lamb sprained his shoulder on Thanksgiving Day against the New York Giants and did not practice Thursday.
“There’s still the shoulder injury, which I’ve been dealing with for four or five weeks…” Lamb said. “As far as Monday goes, I’ll be fine. … I have range of motion and my strength is back.”
One Cowboy who won’t play Monday or the rest of this season is All-Pro guard Jack Martin, who will undergo ankle surgery. Injuries have plagued the nine-time Pro Bowler, and at 34 years old, there are questions about whether we’ve seen the last of him in the NFL.
“This is not the time to discuss this,” Martin said. “What I’ll say about it: It’s a tough situation, and the most important thing on my mind is to get healthy and then get those conversations down the road. But first and foremost, I want to get healthy and then maybe those conversations are a little easier.”
Uchenna Nwosu is back for the Seahawks
Linebacker Uchenna Nwosu will return to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday after playing in just one game this season and missing time with a sprained MCL.
Naosu was out with an injury in the team’s preseason finale — a play he considered dirty.
“I thought it was dirty, straight up,” Naosu said of Cleveland Browns guard Wyatt Taylor’s block on Aug. 24. It’s football, at the end of the day it’s football, but it was definitely a dirty game.”
After missing the opening four games of the season, Naosu returned in Week 5 against the New York Giants, but suffered a left quad injury and has not played since.
“It was tough,” said Naosu, the Seahawks’ nominee for the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award. “I think it’s just some things that are really out of my control, especially with the knee injury. And then one thing leads to another, so who knows. And I know that my career is going to be great and I’m still going to be the same player. , and just keep trusting in myself.”
Meanwhile, running back Kenneth Walker (ankle/calf), who was downgraded to non-participant status, is questionable for the game.
Here’s the rest of the injury report for Week 14. (Players will be added as teams release their injury reports.)
